hi everybody I am trying to index documents using Lucene generating about 30 MB of index (Optimized) which can be raised to about 100 MB or More ( but that would be on a high end server machine).
Description of Current Case: #---Each Document has four fields (One Text field, and 3 other Keyword Fields). #---The analyzer is based on a StopFilter and a PorterStemFilter. #---I am using a Compaq PIII, 128 MB RAM, 650 MHz. #---mergeFactor is set to 25, and I am optimizing the index after adding about 20 Documents. #---Using Lucene Release 1.2 Problem Faced After adding about 4000 Documents generating an index of 30 MB, I initially got an error saying, **** couldn't rename segments.new to segments **** after which the IndexReader or the IndexWriter to the current index couldnot be opened. Then I changed a couple of settings, #---mergeFactor=20 and Optimize was called after ever 10 documents. #---Using Lucene Release 1.3 Problem Faced After adding about 1500 Documents generating an index of 10 MB, I initially got an error saying, **** F:\Program Files\OmniDocs Server\ftstest\_3cf.fnm (Too many open files)**** after which the IndexWriter to the current index couldnot be opened. Now my requirement needs to have a much much larger index (practically) and I am actually at the point where these errors are coming unpredictably. Please if anyone could guide me on this ASAP. Thanx in advance Regards Amit PS: I have already read articles in the mail archieve http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02815.html.
